Bad Cartridge Box going big

[iron bender]

Hopefully I'm not breaking rules posting a live auction, but I'm positive this is a repro, and about 95% sure it's a Jarnagin box circa mid 80's-mid 90's. Really hope it's not someone on this forum bidding on this number. I'll post pics of my 1987 Jarnagin box shortly. I'll post pics of what this box is supposed to mimic too.

Jarnagin box I bought at Shiloh event 1987...note stitching detail etc

Original 58 box type being reproduced. Please note stitch details. It's huge in collecting original gear. Several of the current manufacturers are building gear with details that are near perfect.

I hope I'm wrong for the buyer's sake. This is not a box I'd have in my 'original' pile

Yikes, $1002.00!! Leather that nice and supple can't be 160 years old unless you have Mr. Peabody's "WABAC" time machineJMHO

It is a piece of junk. Both plates are reproductions/fakes as is the box/strap itself. I certainly hope nobody really bought it, especially since they could have gotten a real set much cheaper.

That seller is notorious for fakes. 99.9% are bad. No exaggeration. He has fake bids to prop up prices but I always worry that people are being taken for tons of money. Look at the bidders they bid against themselves at times.

If I was bidding on a suspect item I would welcome someone on the forum alerting me.

I have 3 just like that - does the sucker who bought this one want another?

Idiots sell, and Idiots buy... It's a never ending loop. I kind of figured the last winner was actually a shill bid went wrong.
